Glen Ullyot has lived in
Baker Lake since 2005.
He was a soccer coach in
Baker for six years, a peewee
hockey coach for three, and
has sat on the Hockey Nunavut board since 2008 and the
board of the Hockey North
branch since 2009.
Ullyot said his name was
put forward by Hockey Nunavut president Darrin Nichol.
He said it was nice to have
someone recognize the hours
he's put in for sports during
his time in Baker.
"Getting this award is very
special to me, having put in
nearly 10 years coaching and
volunteering," said Ullyot.
"One of the things I was recognized for is the behind-thescenes work board members
do. People see the coaches
out there, but they don't see
the hours put in on conference calls, filling-out funding
applications, team selection,
coach selection at the board
level and unsavoury things
like discipline issues.
"I loved coaching, but you
have to put it aside when you
reach the board level if you're
going be productive."
Ullyot said hockey officiating is another area where
people don't appreciate the
number of hours required to
run a successful program,
both with skates on the ice

and at the boardroom level.
He said a lot of people
may not realize referees have
to be properly certified to
work sanctioned hockey.
"Somebody had to certify
them, somebody had to take
a course, and somebody had
to plan the course they took.
"It doesn't happen like in
the south, where you can just
sign up on a website and then
show up at the local arena.
"There's a lot effort that
goes into it in the North and
it's not always that easy to put
together."
Ullyot said doing more
to recognize volunteers may
lead to more people willing
to get involved.
He said SRD (formerly
Sport Nunavut) revived the
awards program two years
ago and it needs to continue.
"The awards weren't presented for about three or four
years, or, if they were, people
didn't know about it.
"People feel good and
become better volunteers
when their efforts are recognized.
"And it may also encourage others to get involved.
"People see happy volunteers out talking about the
positive experience of volunteering, and then they want
to volunteer and help their
community become a better
place."

with Darrell Greer
Rankin Inlet
An ugly battle has brewed

between the Hamlet of Rankin
Inlet and its deputy mayor,
Sam Tutanuak.
Tutanuak appeared in a TV
documentary depicting elders
in Rankin Inlet scavenging at
the local dump for food items
thrown out by the Northern
store.
During the 30-minute
broadcast, Tutanuak charged
the federal government's Nutrition North subsidy program
was not working.
Auditor General Michael
Ferguson released a report on
Nov. 25 indicating the program
lacked transparency, which is
necessary to see whether the
$60 million in federal subsidies is being passed onto
consumers properly by retailers.
Both the Northern store
and Arctic Co-ops have issued
statements saying they comply with all regulations and
support the auditor general's
recommendations to improve
the program.
Tutanuak was contacted by
new Rankin senior administrative officer (SAO) Tom Ng on
Nov. 26, asking him to meet at
the SAO's office.
Tutanuak said Ng told
him he had received a phone
call from Nunavut MP Leona
Aglukkaq.
He said Aglukkaq, by what
Ng told him, was upset by
comments he had made on the
food situation in Rankin.
"I was stunned when the
SAO (Ng) told me she (Aglukkaq) was demanding an apology for what I had said," said
Tutanuak.
"Then he said she also
wanted a letter from the hamlet stating that Nutrition North
was working.
"The rest of the conversation is a little blurry because

that just floored me.
"All I could think or say
was that I won't apologize for
telling the truth and, as a councillor, will not write any such
letter."
Hamlet council called an
emergency meeting for the
morning of Nov. 27, during
which, according to Tutanuak,
a "gag order" was placed on
anyone speaking to the media
about the issue
Things continued to escalate with Aglukkaq issuing a
statement denying she had ever
asked for an apology from anyone.
"The allegations made
against me by the deputy mayor
of Rankin Inlet in an article
published by the Aboriginal
People's Television Network
are completely false and must
be corrected," Aglukkaq wrote
in the statement.
"I was troubled when I
heard reports about families in
Rankin Inlet struggling to find
food, so I followed up with my
constituents to address these
concerns.
"I also contacted the SAO
in Rankin Inlet to learn more
about these concerning reports.
"At no time did I, or my
office, request an apology
from anyone at the hamlet.
"The deputy mayor's claims
about this conversation are
completely false. I am currently reviewing all of my legal
options."
Tutanuak said he stands by
what he said the SAO said to
him.
He said he also stands by
his comments on the Nutrition
North program.
"I agreed to do the TV bit
and I commented on Nutrition
North because I was concerned
about the people in this community making $30,000 or less

The airline will fill bellies, give out gifts and put smiles
on many a face in Arviat this holiday season, when it hosts
the annual Calm Air Christmas Feast on Dec. 4.
The Calm Air team will have enough goodies in Arviat
to serve 1,000 meals.
The airline also began doubling the Christmas dinners
this year, serving 800 dinners in Sanikiluaq on Dec. 2.
Elder's party set
The Northern store receives the biggest chunk of

subsidies from the federal government's Nutrition
North program.
a year.
"I don't know why the federal government continues to
insist Nutrition North is working, when it's obvious it isn't.
"Sure, the feds just shoved
in another $11 million, but
that's only going to help our
two main stores, the Northern store and Co-op, maintain
their profits.
"They keep saying they are
passing all the savings along
to the customers, but, in my
opinion, that's BS."
Rankin Mayor Robert Janes
said he needed to get totally up
to speed on the issue.
When asked by Kivalliq
News what his SAO's recollections are on the conversation he had with Aglukkaq this
past week, the mayor said, "No
comment."
In a published report, the
SAO on Nov. 28 denied he told
Tutanuak that Aglukkaq was
seeking an apology.
"We have an idea of where
we're going from here, but we
won't make an official com-
ment until we've had time to go

over everything properly," said
Janes this past Friday, Nov. 28.
"We have a regular meeting
of council this coming Tuesday
(Dec. 2) and that's the time
we officially decide what we're
going to do.
"It has to be done by consensus at a regular meeting."
Tutanuak said no matter
what's decided, he refuses to
apologize.
He said he believed what
the SAO told him to be the
truth regarding the requested
apology, and he won't be
changing his mind anytime
soon about the effectiveness of
the Nutrition North program.
"We had a program that
worked far better with food
mail, and then someone in a
suit named Harper decided to
screw it up," said Tutanuak.
"It's getting harder and
harder to survive here, anyone
who thinks Nutrition North is
working should come here and
try to survive on $30,000 a
year or less.
Rankin Inlet
The annual Elder's Christmas Party will be held at the
Rankin Inlet community hall on Dec. 19, from 1 p.m. until
4 p.m.
The committee in charge of the party is reaching out to
the community to help support the Elder's Christmas Party
by donating promotional items, gifts or funding.

Men arrested for theft

Coral Harbour

and enter in Coral Harbour this past month.
The RCMP say a store was broken into on Nov. 17, with
more than $10,000 in merchandise taken by the thieves.
The majority of the goods were recovered during the
course of the investigation.
One man was scheduled to make his first court appearance yesterday, Dec. 2, while the other is scheduled to make
his first appearance on March 5.
The RCMP did not release the names of the two men
charged.

Lots of birthdays to catch up on

Greetings, everyone.
While there may be lots of hype about gifts, big meals,
etc., it's not about just that. Christmas can be enjoyed as an
opportunity to share time with family and friends. It's a time
when you can eat whatever you like, share what you can with
those less fortunate, and do a kindness whenever possible. So,
please, just enjoy this wonderful time of the year.
For those looking for a special gift idea, be sure to check
out the penny sales and flea markets coming up, as well as
the various swap-and-sell sites. There's many beautiful items
to be had out there for sure!
Well, we have some greetings and birthdays to get out, so
let's get to them.
Happy birthday to our cousin, Matthew Adams, on Nov.
22. We love you and hope you had a great day. Love from
Joachim, Joyce, Pudlu and the kids, especially your little
buddy, Spike.

Nutrition North 'failing':

Auditor General
Audit fails to show Northern retailers are
passing on full subsidy to consumers'
by Michele LeTourneau
Nunavut
Leesie Papatsie, founder of

the Feeding My Family movement, is happy the auditor
general's report on the Nutrition North Canada Program is
finally out and that it clearly
states Aboriginal Affairs and
Northern Development Canada (AANDC) has failed at
making nutritious and perishable food more accessible and
affordable in Nunavut and the
rest of the North.
"It's good, because that's
what we've been saying all
along. It really says what we've
been saying. That the program
is not transparent and that it's
relying too much on the stores
to provide the needed information," said Papatsie.
The release of the Nutrition
North audit Nov. 25 was one of
seven reports on government
programs released by auditor
general Michael Ferguson.
"One concern that I have
in looking at these audits is
that departments need to have
a clearer understanding of
whether the services they are
providing are truly meeting
the needs of Canadians," Ferguson said.
According to the audit,
Nutrition North is failing in
that regard.
"When departments do
not fully consider the on-theground impact of their activities, they are missing opportunities to verify that they are
hitting the mark for Canadians," he said.
Among the criticism leveled at AANDC in the report
was the department's inability
to illustrate how the federal
government subsidy passes to
the consumer from the retailers.
Aside from not identifying
eligible communities on the
basis of need, the report stated AANDC "has not defined
affordability nor has it verified that Northern retailers are
passing on the full subsidy to
consumers."
Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.
(NTI) was quick to declare
its position after the report's
release.
President Cathy Towtongie called on AANDC "to
immediately make changes to
their Nutrition North Canada program to make it more
transparent and accountable
to Inuit."
The North West Company,
which received 51 per cent of
the subsidy in 2012-2013, was
also quick to respond, sending
out a news release hours later.
"Under the Nutrition North
program, North West passed
on to customers $31.7 million in subsidies in 2013.
Independent audit of North
Wests internal process has
confirmed that every dollar
of subsidies has been passed
along to customers," stated
the North West Company in a

press release.
Asked to provide documentation to support this statement, spokesperson Derek
Reimer, director of business
development, provided the
link to the compliance report
on AANDC's webpage.
But the auditor general had
this to say:
"(AANDC) did not require
information on profit margins, either in its contribution agreements with retailers or through its compliance
reviews of retailers, which is
necessary to verify that the
subsidy is fully passed on to
consumers."
Papatsie says that's always
been one of her worries, "about
how much the stores can give
out their information."
Arctic Co-op also responded to the report.
"The Nutrition North Canada Program is a vital consumer freight subsidy program
that the Co-op
system administers on
behalf of the Government of
Canada," stated Andy Morrison, chief executive officer
of Arctic Co-ops. "The Co-op
system has always put people
before profit and welcomes the
opportunity to further improve
its service to and within communities."
In fact, University of Manitoba assistant professor Tracey
Galloway made the point in
her analysis published in the
Canadian Journal of Public
Health earlier this fall that
it's the Northern retailers that
cried foul about the Food Mail
program.
"It is difficult to view this
high degree of market concentration as significantly
less monopolistic than under
the old Canada Post contract
(under food mail)," wrote Galloway.
Former Nunavut MLA Ron
Elliott has examined Nutrition
North inside out. Complicated
formulas impede transparency, and without full disclosure of details, such as freight
cost negotiated with airlines,
it won't be possible to work
out how much of the subsidy
gets passed on to consumers,
he said. And that's just one of
many problems plaguing the
program.
Elliott is not convinced
Nutrition North can be fixed.
There's another idea floating
around based on the idea
that the subsidy should not be
flowing into private enterprise
but directly into the hands of
those who should and need to
benefit.
"Do we have the program
set up properly," he asks. "In
discussions I've had with others, the best idea I've heard
so far and the one I think is
amazing is maybe, with all
of the statistics and all of the
information that we're able to
get on food baskets, how much
people spend on food, the cost

of living Is there not some
way, and this would ensure
the money is passed on, is
there not a way, when we do
our income taxes each year,
of coming up with a number?
"Right now we have a
Northern residency deduction. Is there not some way of
putting this food subsidy on
there?"
Elliott acknowledges that
the retailers are trying to pass
on savings, but it's an inescapable fact that they are businesses.
"That's been one of the
problems from the onset of the
program. You are providing
a subsidy to the people who
are responsible to board members or shareholders who are
supposed to make profits. So
there are conflicting interests.
How does that make sense?"
Fixes to the existing program, Papatsie notes, is relying on the stores again.
"The other thing they rely
on from the stores, as well,
is how they price the food
basket."
However, Papatsie does
think the program can be
fixed.
"Oh yes," said Papatsie.
"With determination, if they
really wanted to fix it, they
would fix it. Any government
can do anything they really
want."
Towtongie objects to
the fact that Inuit were "not
afforded the opportunity to
participate in the redesign of
the program.
"NTI plays no role in
appointing people to the programs advisory board. NTI
does not have any say in how
the education program funding is allocated to Nunavut,
and NTI did not participate
in the restructuring of the eligible items list."
She adds, "In terms of
monetary investment, the
Nutrition North program is the
second largest social program
delivered in Nunavut. Income
assistance is the largest. This
is why it is so important to
Inuit."
Towtongie said NTI would
raise the issue with AANDC
Minister Bernard Valcourt
during their next meeting.
Meanwhile, in all official
responses, all parties agree
with the report's conclusion and recommendations.
AANDC's response is imbedded in the report itself. The
North West Company and
Artic Co-op want to participate in improving the program. Private citizens want it
to work, keeping in mind the
objectives of affordable and
healthy foods, with transparency and accountability.
"People need to be healthy
and have access to food," said
Elliott. "If everyone is working to improve the program,
it will."

Fair day for science in Rankin

Project quality, community support up for annual event
by Darrell Greer
Rankin Inlet
November is a month student science lovers look forward to in Rankin Inlet.

Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik (MUI) in Rankin and
Tusarvik School in Repulse
Bay are usually the only
two Kivalliq schools to host
their science fair before the
Christmas holiday break.
MUI held its fair this past
week, and science teachers
Katharine O'Connell and
Jennifer Zeinstra are pleased
with the results.
O'Connell said about 90
projects were entered in this
year's fair, with more than
150 students taking part.
She said with the exception of one student who
entered the fair on their own
time, only those enrolled in
science this semester took
part in the fair.
"Two judges we've had
here in the past said the
quality of projects was better than previous years," said
O'Connell. "There were a few
that stood out, but another
good handful of projects
were all within the same
range of scientific thought.
"To me, that shows the
quality is getting better."
Zeinstra said students put
a lot of effort into their projects this time out.
She said it can be hard to
gauge which fair has the better projects from year to year
due to varying subjects.
"Project topics change
over time, sometimes drastically," said Zeinstra.
"That can make it difficult
to rank the projects against
previous years.
"The students put in a lot
of time and effort this year
and it showed in the end
result."
Zeinstra said MUI students have a good start with
the scientific method process.
She said they've improved
their ability to identify purpose, hypothesis, materials
and procedure.
"An area they can, perhaps, improve upon is their
analysis of how projects are
relevant to everyday life.
"That's an area we can
focus on moving forward."
O'Connell agrees, saying
a number of projects in this
year's fair featured unique, or
somewhat different, topics.
But, she said, the follow through on the original
thought can be lacking.
"Some may have had a
really cool idea, and they
did some testing," said
O'Connell.
"But, as Jenn said, the
analyses and displaying of
their data wasn't as clear.
"They'll have pretty solid
projects if they can work on
that area, and we did have

three or four like that."
MUI will announce its
winning projects this coming
Friday, Dec. 5.
The top four students
will advance to the Kivalliq Regional Science Fair at
Jonah Amitnaaq Secondary

School in Baker Lake from
March 27 to 29.
The top finishers in the
regional event will advance
to the Canada-Wide Science
Fair in Fredericton, N.B.,
from May 10 to 16.

The
MUI
students
received strong support from
the community this year.
O'Connell said a good
number of parents came to
view the projects and watch
the science show.

"This was one of our best
turnouts.
"We had more people for
the evening viewing than any
time I can remember during
the past seven or eight years."
